Arborsmith Pro Tree Service removes, trims and prunes trees and grinds stumps for homes and properties in Port Orchard and throughout Kitsap County. Call for a free estimate, or call any time a storm brings a tree down.
Tall Douglas firs, western red cedars and big-leaf maples are a big part of what makes the Kitsap Peninsula beautiful. They also lean toward houses, drop limbs in winter windstorms and outgrow the yards they were planted in.
Arborsmith Pro Tree Service is based in Port Orchard and provides tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree service across Kitsap County. We help homeowners and property owners deal with trees that have become a problem, and keep healthy trees safe and in good shape.
Whether you need one hazardous tree cut down, limbs cleared away from your roof, a view opened up or a yard cleared of old stumps, you’ll get a free estimate before any work starts.
We’d rather you hear it from our customers. Here’s what they say on Google.
Every property is different, so each core service has its own page with more detail. Here’s an overview of what we do.
Removal is often the safest answer when a tree is dead or dying, badly damaged by a storm, diseased or decayed, leaning toward a structure, or simply growing in the wrong place for your plans. Trees close to homes, fences, decks and power lines usually can’t be felled in one piece, so they’re taken down in controlled sections.
We handle hazardous removals as well as routine tree cutting, and the stump can be ground afterward so the space is ready to use again.
Good pruning removes dead, weak and crossing branches, lifts limbs off roofs, gutters and driveways, and thins trees that catch a lot of wind. The goal is a healthier, safer tree that still looks natural, not one that has been topped or stripped.
Trimming can also recover a view. Many Kitsap properties look out over water, mountains or open space that trees have slowly closed in, and careful thinning or limb removal can often open that view back up without taking the trees out.
A leftover stump is a tripping hazard, a mowing obstacle and, with some species, a source of new sprouts. Stump grinding breaks the stump down below the soil surface so you can replant, lay sod or build over the spot.
It works right after a removal or for old stumps that have been sitting in the yard for years, whether you have a single stump or several.
Windstorms, heavy wet snow and saturated winter soils bring down trees and large limbs across the Kitsap Peninsula every year. If a tree has fallen on your house, car, fence or driveway, is blocking access to your property, or a damaged tree looks ready to fail, call (360) 590-8771. Emergency tree service is available 24/7, including storm damage cleanup.
A cracked trunk or a large hanging limb can still do serious damage before it comes down, so it’s worth a call before the next storm. If power lines are involved, stay well away and contact your electric utility first.
Tree work involves real risk to people and property. Arborsmith Pro Tree Service is licensed, bonded and insured, which is always worth confirming before you hire any tree company.
Know the price before any work begins. Estimates are free, whether the job is a single tree or a whole property.
Storms don’t keep business hours. When a fallen or failing tree can’t wait, call (360) 590-8771 any time, day or night.
We’re a Port Orchard business, close to the homes and properties we serve across Kitsap County.
Cutting down or pruning a large tree is one of the more dangerous jobs a homeowner can take on. Heavy wood falls unpredictably, chainsaws and ladders don’t mix, and a limb that lands in the wrong place can damage a roof, a car or a neighbor’s fence.
Pruning mistakes are quieter but can be just as costly. Topping a tree or cutting branches flush against the trunk invites decay and weak regrowth, and over-thinning can leave a tree more exposed to wind. Hiring a licensed, bonded and insured tree service protects your property and keeps your trees healthier over the long run.
Port Orchard is home base, and South Kitsap neighborhoods from Sinclair Inlet to Manchester and Olalla are right in our backyard. From here we serve communities throughout Kitsap County, including Bremerton and Silverdale, as well as Gig Harbor just down Highway 16.
Tree work in Kitsap County comes with its own challenges: tall conifers growing close to homes, wooded lots that were cleared around existing trees, waterfront and hillside properties where views matter, and winter storms that test every tree. Whether your property is in town or on several wooded acres, the goal is the same: safe work and trees you don’t have to worry about.
We also work in other communities on the Kitsap Peninsula and in nearby parts of Pierce and Mason counties. Choose a location below to learn more, or call (360) 590-8771 to confirm we cover your address.

Warning signs include dead or hanging branches, deep cracks in the trunk, mushrooms or soft, decaying wood near the base, soil lifting on one side of the root zone, and a tree that has started leaning more than it used to. Any of these is worth having checked, especially if the tree could reach your home, a driveway or a play area.
People often use the words interchangeably. Trimming usually means shaping and clearance, such as cutting limbs back from a roof, driveway or view. Pruning focuses on the tree’s health and structure by removing dead, diseased or poorly attached branches. Most jobs involve some of both.
Yes. Trees near homes, garages, fences and power lines are common, and they’re usually taken down in controlled sections rather than felled in one piece. If power lines are involved, contact your electric utility before any work is done.
It depends. Requirements can vary based on where your property is located and the circumstances of the removal. Before removing a tree, check with your local city or county to find out what applies to your property.
The stump stays unless you ask for it to be ground. Stump grinding takes it down below the soil surface and leaves wood chips behind, so the area can be replanted or covered.
Get everyone away from the damaged area and stay clear of any downed or sagging power lines. If lines are involved, call your electric utility or 911. Then call us at (360) 590-8771; emergency tree service is available 24/7. Photos of the damage are also useful for your insurance company.
Yes. Arborsmith Pro Tree Service is licensed, bonded and insured.
For many trees, late winter, while they’re dormant, is ideal. The branch structure is easier to see and fresh cuts face less insect and disease pressure. Dead, broken or hazardous limbs should come off whenever they’re found, regardless of the season.
